This sweet cat is about to give birth.
Edited on Thu Jul-27-06 12:21 AM by bertha katzenengel
Any day now. Let it be soon . . . she is miserable. She's hardly eating! :(



I want the babies to come soon! She needs to feel better. She won't get any rest, but I can imagine the relief she'll feeeeeeel.

KITTENS! :woohoo:

edited because "feel" isn't spelled "fill." :eyes:

6. I will, once mommy's calmed down and I can shoot them without
upsetting her.

Welcome to DU, lelapin :hi:

8. Oh, man - that would be so excellent!
My brother lives in Harrisburg. How far away is that from you?

9. It's about a three hour drive.
Could this happen?!

Speaking of "three hours," have you ever had your congregation sing "Amazing Grace" to the tune of "Gilligan's Island?" Try it. Right now. Let me know what you think. ;)

11. Oh, yeah!
It also works to "A Peaceful Easy Feeling". Except for the chorus.

3. Well, bless her sweet heart.
Just get her spayed, please.

And, I'm a cat person who also loves the really big dogs. Loving the kittens....that is a good thing. My big dogs have always looked after their cat friends. That is more than most people do, truth to tell. Kittens are in your trust, do well by them.

:)

4. Oh, absolutely. No question about that. She's feral and will go
wild again once the kits are weaned. (She has to - we already have too many in the house.)

:hi:

7. Our cats would invariably wake my mother in the middle of the night,
meow like crazy and mama would build them a birthing nest in the bottom of the linen closet! They trusted her to help. It was so sweet.

10. That is so cool.
:) Very sweet.

I kinda hope she asks for help, and I kinda don't. I've never actually helped a cat give birth - and this one's feral!

She's in our guest room, and I've made her two birthing boxes. I really hope she chooses one of them, instead of the bed or the hardwood floor. (It's a warm room despite the A/C & ceiling fan; she really likes to lay on the cool floor.)

13. Ours always seemed happy to know they were in a place where they couldn't
be invaded. Back to the wall kinda thing. Good luck kitties!!!
